From what I can tell, Section 3.2 does not make a recommendation on switching from an 8-bit to a 16-bit vendor-type format. It does describe situations in which an 8-bit vendor type field would be inadequate. As noted by Jari, there is a normative recommendation that RADIUS servers support a 16-bit vendor-type (presumably in addition to the 8-bit vendor type). IMHO, that normative recommendation would be more appropriate in the Extended Attributes document, which actually utilizes the 16-bit vendor type. > i.e. the overwhelming majority (> 95%) of the major and minor vendors find the RFC VSA format acceptable. Right. Almost all vendors use the 8-bit vendor-type. This should not be surprising since the issues described in Section 3.2 will typically apply more to SDOs than to vendors. But since the document doesn't recommend against use of the 8-bit vendor-type, this isn't an issue. |
